Thank you for the sage advice. Luvtoclimb-your pictures are amazing and inspirational. I love seeing your folders, the vintage is a beauty! I will continue riding my folder recreationally and keep an eye out for sales in the winter or the spring. Maybe by the springtime, i will have a full size bike and can join a club then. For now, I will just continue to putz around on the local trails and build up stamina. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks all!
I'm strictly a recreational/transportation/utility cyclist too. I don't race. I just love climbing.
I tried to get a single crankset, but the LBS didn't have one. I needed the lower gearing right away, so I didn't want to wait for one to be ordered for me.
I thought about shifting with my hand, but the rear derailleur isn't designed for use with a front derailleur. I tried putting the chain on the small ring and it sagged. The rear derailleur didn't self-adjust to take up the slack in the chain.
